Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

to shift the supply curve right, either the cost is lower or the demand increases so the ans is scientists find a way to make solar panels more efficient at no extra cost

Answer 2

The choices are:

- increase in the price of rubber (tires)

- a tax on businesses that goes into effect immediately

- scientists find a way to make solar panels more efficient at no extra cost
